About 10 months ago...

About 10 months ago my mom asked me to make a king sized quilt. Having never made a quilt and knowing nothing about the time and effort it takes to make one, I said "Sure, no problem". I had no idea what I had gotten myself into. However, after long hours and a lot of trial and error I have finally completed the quilt and I must say, it turned out pretty good.

First you have to cut what feels like a thousand squares. 

Then you have to sew them all together diagonally, cut, and repeat.

Then sew those squares together to make long strips of squares. But make sure two triangles of the same color are not touching.

Then sew the long strips together. But make sure two triangles of the same color are not touching.

And finally you have the top part!!! You may feel like your done, but your not.

Next step is to sew the back, batting and top squares together. I laid it out flat and pinned it, sewed a line, and repeated. (I do not think this is intended for a regular sewing machine... but I made it work.) Then finally you sew on the base tape (Which of course I made myself).

And finally place it on the bed, stand back, and breath a sigh of relief; because it's finally done.

For those of you who are like me and typically think things are easier then they are... I recommend starting with a baby quilt. Although, if you start with a king size quilt every other quilt you make will be a piece of cake. Let me know in the comments if you would rather start with a king or baby quilt.
